Who is Kingfisher Shopping Centre?

Kingfisher Shopping Centre is part of Capital & Regional PLC.

Our Purpose for Collecting and Processing Personal Data

Our intention is to provide the best possible experience for visitors to our shopping centres, the retailer brands and people that work there, and the local community in which we operate. We collect and process data in order to understand who our customers are, send them of appropriate and relevant information, track the performance of our centres, and to help provide and improve our services as a whole.

Some data is required in order to operate our services to you, and in some cases we are required to hold certain information for legal compliance, law enforcement or contractual purposes.

Legal Basis

Data protection laws set out a number of valid reasons for the collection and processing of personal data. These include: Consent, such as ticking a box to opt-in to receive marketing emails from us; legitimate Interest; compliance with the law; and, to fulfil contractual obligations.

What Data We Collect

When entering competitions, either in-centre or via our website, we collect personal data like your contact information in order to administer the competition, for example to ensuring age restrictions are adhered to and in order to notify winners. Prior to 25th May 2018 by entering you will also have been opted-in to receive marketing communications in line with pre-GDPR regulations, namely 'implied consent'. After 25th May 2018 consent to receive news and updates from Kingfisher Shopping Centre requires a separate and unbundled consent from the competition entry.

Personal details are required in order to sign-up to the +More loyalty scheme, which provides members with offers and promotions. These details are required to administer the scheme, such as the posting of membership cards, identifying members, informing them of the current offers and promotions within the scheme, and tracking usage of the scheme.

We may collect electronic data such as IP addresses or device information when you use Kingfisher services such as the websites in order to monitor the performance of those services and improve their quality. However, the data will only be disclosed on an anonymous and aggregated basis not in a way in which you will be personally identified, unless consent to the contrary has been given.

For businesses operating within our centres, such as retailers and kiosk traders, we collect business and personal data such as names and contact details in order to create contracts and administer our business operations. Some of this information is required to conduct these services.

Our car parks utilise number plate recognition systems in order to provide an efficient service, monitor usage and provide information for security purposes. If required to do so we may provide this information to law enforcement agencies.

To protect our centres, shoppers, and retail staff we operate CCTV systems throughout our centres and car parks which record images for security. We do this on the basis of our legitimate business interests. If required to do so we may provide this information to assist with law enforcement.

We do not currently employ any automated decision-making tools.

With the exception of names used to administer certain elements of our Kids Club service, we do not collect personal data from children under the age of 13.

Use of Personal Data for Marketing Communications

We only send post, email, text messages and mobile notifications to you about news and services that we consider may be of interest to you only if you have given us permission to do so or if appropriate where we consider there to a legitimate interest in the information for example if you have signed-up to the +More loyalty scheme and knowledge of available offers and promotions is the primary function of the scheme.

If you have agreed to be contacted by telephone then calls may be monitored and recorded for quality and training purposes.

Electronic notifications may be sent to you via your internet browser if you have given consent for us to do so. If you subsequently wish to remove consent for these you can do so following the instructions provided by your internet browser software.

When employing Data Processors, we ensure that they comply with data protection laws including ensuring that data is held securely and that only the information required to complete the work is supplied to them. If we stop using a particular Data Processor's services we require that personal data held by them is securely deleted or anonymised.

Your personal data is not shared with other companies for their own purposes unless specifically stated at the time of collection and you have given your permission.

If you opt-in to receive information from the additional company please see their Privacy Policy for information on how they handle your data.

Retention Period & Criteria

We only keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with legal, contractual or law enforcement purposes.
